Billing for a Cone CT Scan

Date: Jul 22, 2015

Question:

When a cerebral angiogram (36224) is done, and a 3D reconstruction is done on an independent workstation (76377), as well as a cone CT to check for a bleed, can the CT scan be billed? if yes, would billing it as a limited (76380) or (70450) be correct ? If a limited CT is done for a non-invasive spinal procedure, would the CT be bundled into the S&I code?
